Commentary Clickable Links

AFL Programming
1

Can commentary in the Interpretation window contain a clickable hyperlink (e.g. a friendly name that when clicked, opens a web browser to the hyperlink)?

@SwingTradeMonkey I think this was asked before, Hyperlink in Interpretation window

Though not exactly what you were asking, since version 6.1 Clickable links in comments,

and in version 6.20

@portfoliobuilder Thank you!

Yes, I have already used the link feature described above to the comments in my AFL formula.

Clickable urls or links in Custom Metrics is also possible and is discussed in Backtest Commentary (remember to use Alt-left mouse-double-click to open the link.)

What I was asking for is a clickable link that can be written to the Interpretation window.

With a deeper search I found that @Tomasz previously addressed Hyperlink in Interpretation window :disappointed_relieved:

At present clickable links in the Interpretation window are not supported (you can suggest such feature in the Feedback centre - http://www.amibroker.com/members/feedback ) but:

  1. Apart from the AFL editor, clickable links are now supported in Explorations (AB 6.26):

New Analysis: Added support for clickable links. If you put @link URL in any cell of Analysis result list it creates a clickable row. If you double click on the row while holding down ALT key it will open the link

An example TJ code from: AmiBroker 6.26.0 BETA released

Filter = Status("lastbarinrange");
AddTextColumn("@link http://www.amibroker.com/", "double click me with ALT key"); 

// Hidden links are possible if you add the @link in the column past the last defined one 
AddRow( "ticker\tdatetime\ttest\t@link http://www.amibroker.com" );
  1. You can create a set of custom buttons in a chart window - using GuiButton() functions. Each button can open a webpage via ShellExecute()
